Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a numbering device capable of previously controlling an initial value of a type wheel of a printer by a switch at the time of numbering as well as properly grasping a printing position for an errorless printing by a simple operation at the time of printing. CONSTITUTION:An initial value is set to a desired numeric value, for example, 0001 by an initial value setting switch 1. A control circuit 2 displays the result on a display means 4. A first printing position is shown by a light of a light- emitting means 8 provided on a printing means 5. A printing position on paper is determined by using the light of the light-emitting means 8 as a reference. Addition or subtraction is selected and a change amount (increment or decrement amount for every printing), a repeat printing number, and the like are determined by a counting selection switch 9. The results are stored in a numeric value storage means 7. Printing is started by a printing start switch 10. In this manner, printing can be made correctly on a position of a user's aim, and errors in setting various conditions related to numbering are reduced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a numbering device having a light emitting means and a sound producing means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional numbering device is a mechanical type, and when setting an initial value for printing, a user rotates a type wheel of the printing device in advance to set a desired numerical value, and then a frame is set at a printing position. Then, the printer was strongly pressed against the paper for numbering.

[0003]

As described above, according to the prior art, before starting printing, the printing wheel is manually rotated in advance to set the initial value of the numbering, and the paper is looked through the gap of the frame of the printing apparatus. It was aligned by and was pressed hard by hand to print. Therefore, according to the present invention, when performing the numbering, it is not necessary to manually set the printing wheel of the printing device to a desired numerical value in advance, the initial value can be controlled by the switch, and the printing position can be accurately set when printing. It is possible to grasp and print without error with a simple operation.

[0004]

According to the present invention, the initial value of the numbering is controlled by a switch operation, and printing can be performed by either addition or subtraction, and the alignment of printing is performed by a light emitted from a printing device. Accurate alignment can be performed based on.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. According to the present invention, the control circuit 2 sets the desired value, for example, 0001 by the initial value setting switch 1 instead of manually setting the printing wheel of the printing device to the initial value in advance as in the conventional numbering device. The result is displayed on the display means 4. The user can check the contents according to the purpose and correct the mistakes and start the numbering. Regarding the printing position, the light of the light emitting means 8 attached to the printing means 5 indicates the first printing position, and the light is used as a guide to determine the printing position on the paper. Next, selection of addition or subtraction by the count selection switch 9 and the amount of change (adjustment width for each printing), the number of times of repeated printing, etc. are determined and stored in the numerical value storage means 7 and printing is started by the printing start switch 10. To do. In the present invention,
At the end of printing, a confirmation sound is emitted from the sounding means 11 and the user can be informed of this, so that the timing of the next printing operation can be known. As a result, the user can prepare the next sheet or start another numbering again. Further, the control circuit 2 can also perform print format control in addition to the numerical control of numbering, and can cope with character decoration and various special typefaces.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to control various numbering which could not be done by the numbering device up to now, and it can be used for a wide variety of purposes such as lot management, slip management, inventory management.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, when performing the numbering, it is not necessary to manually rotate the type wheel of the printing apparatus to set the initial value, and the user can use the initial value setting switch for the purpose. While checking the display means to determine the first number, you can start printing by aligning the paper / slip etc. at the position illuminated by the light emitting means,
Anyone can easily and accurately number. Further, since the number of times of printing and the amount of adjustment can be easily set, it is possible to easily control a copy-type slip or a product requiring a lot management with a missing number in the middle. Such numbering work is often performed in a relatively noisy environment such as in a factory, and the present invention in which a confirmation sound can be emitted by a sounding means at the end of printing is extremely significant. Further, since the control of the printing format can be freely performed by the control circuit, it can be applied not only to the numbering but also to the management of the postal code, telephone number and ID number of the postcard. Moreover, the size of printed characters and the increase or decrease in the number of display digits are at your disposal.

In terms of usability, if an electronic printing device is used as the printing device, it is not necessary to press the paper strongly against the paper to print as with the conventional mechanical printing device, and printing can be performed smoothly and quietly and comfortably. is there.
